The God and the Gwisin by Sophie Kim
3.0
I wish I liked this book more because I loved the first one so much! I did think I was going to enjoy the book based on the premise of the story, but it ended up falling flat for me.
Just like with The God and the Gumiho, this romance moved too quickly for me. I get that there’s a red thread of fate and so they already knew they were soulmates, but it just didn’t feel natural for me. I also hated that the author madeKisa a virgin with a “teach me” moment.
The writing was really cringey at times and felt like I was reading a YA novel instead of an adult book. The pacing of the book also felt off - too slow at points and too rushed at others. The murder mystery seemed fun but I ultimately didn’t like the way it was done.
I would continue to recommend the first book in the series, but perhaps not The God and the Gwisin.
